Online capital raising platforms that aim to provide growth capital for early-stage companies have decisively turned to secondary offerings, adding value to investors registered on their platforms.
crowdcubea leading platform based in the UK, is currently offering investors the opportunity to invest Blockchain.com ahead of a future IPO through an indirect structure.
According to the offer page, shares in Blockchain.com are being offered at a price of £10.47, which is said to be at a discount to the previous funding round. Crowdcube matches existing shareholders who want to liquidate some of their shares with people who want to buy private shares in the firm.

The company’s valuation, which rose from a $5.2 billion valuation in 2021 to $14 billion in 2022, fell below $7 billion in 2023 following the “crypto winter,” a period when digital asset prices fell, transaction volumes decreased, and investor sentiment weakened in the crypto sector.
Current secondary transaction sets a $4 billion valuation for Blockchain.com
The offer page shows that 263 investors participated in the offering, pledging £110,699, and the offering closed in approximately 20 days.
Blockchain.com was founded in the UK in 2011 as the first Bitcoin block explorer. The platform has grown into a full-service crypto platform over the last 14 years, providing crypto trading, a non-custodial wallet and tokenized stocks supporting over 94 million users. The platform was approved under MiCA in 2025, allowing services to be provided in all EEA countries.
Secondaries are part of a broader theme, as many investment crowdfunding platforms started life by only offering primary offerings and now offer more mature investments, giving investors more options.
